The use of a coffin, or better known now as casket, is one of the oldest memorial traditions, dating back for at least hundreds of years. Although this tradition that was not necessarily handed down, it is one that was followed through the centuries nonetheless, as our way of paying an honorable homage to those we love.

Wood has been used in the construction of caskets for almost as long as the tradition itself has been around. Although they lost popularity at the rise of their metal counterparts, they are back in popular demand and are made featuring elegant details and hardware, and are finished with gorgeous interiors. These caskets are constructed from the finest, most sturdy of hard woods available and are usually coated with an beautiful wood finish. Some even feature gorgeous, sculpted accents that give an overall affect of dignity, as well as grace. While many of these funerary boxes are made to withstand the elements for as long as possible, not all are. Wood caskets are also available for those who require a natural burial or cremation casket.
